  • Incidentally Detected Small Intestine Intussusception Caused by Primary Small Intestine Carcinoma on ^18F-FDG PET/CT
    Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2017
    Co-Authors: So Won Oh
    Abstract:

    Small Intestine intussusception in adults is a rare condition mainly caused by primary or metastatic small Intestine malignancy. Here, we present a 72-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with small Intestine cancer that was presented as small Intestine intussusception on hybrid ^18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT). The patient was initially referred for an abnormality on a chest radiography and severe anemia. FDG PET/CT showed the lung lesion in the right upper lobe of lung as a high FDG uptake mass. Accidentally, FDG PET demonstrated another intense hypermetabolic intraluminal lesion in the small Intestine accompanied with intussusception shown as a circumferential hypermetabolic wall. By pathologic examination, the patient was diagnosed as primary small Intestine cancer with lung metastasis. This case highlights usefulness of hybrid FDG PET/CT to identify unexpected malignancy.

  • Associations between small Intestine cancer and other primary cancers: an international population-based study.
    International journal of cancer, 2006
    Co-Authors: Ghislaine Scelo, Paolo Boffetta, Kari Hemminki, Eero Pukkala, Jørgen H. Olsen, Aage Andersen, Elizabeth Tracey, David H. Brewster, Mary L. Mcbride, Erich V. Kliewer
    Abstract:

    Cancer of the small Intestine is a rare neoplasm, and its etiology remains poorly understood. Analysis of other primary cancers in individuals with small Intestine cancer may help elucidate the causes of this neoplasm and the underlying mechanisms. We included 10,946 cases of first primary small Intestine cancer from 13 cancer registries in a pooled analysis. The observed numbers of 44 types of second primary cancer were compared to the expected numbers derived from the age-, gender- and calendar period-specific cancer incidence rates in each registry. We also calculated the standardized incidence ratios (SIR) for small Intestine cancer as a second primary after other cancers. There was a 68% overall increase in the risk of a new primary cancer after small Intestine Carcinoma (SIR = 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.47-1.71), that remained constant over time. The overall SIR was 1.18 (95% CI = 1.05-1.32) after carcinoid, 1.29 (1.01-1.63) after sarcoma, and 1.27 (0.78-1.94) after lymphoma. Significant (p < 0.05) increases were observed for cancers of the oropharynx, colon, rectum, ampulla of Vater, pancreas, corpus uteri, ovary, prostate, kidney, thyroid gland, skin and soft tissue sarcomas. Small Intestine cancer as a second primary was increased significantly after all these cancers, except after oropharyngeal and kidney cancers. Although some of the excess may be attributable to overdiagnosis, it is plausible that most additional cases of second primary cancers were clinically relevant and were due to common genetic (e.g., defects in mismatch or other DNA repair pathways) and environmental (e.g., dietary) factors.
